ABSTRACT

The article reports on the findings of the clean-technology research firm Clean Edge which revealed that three clean-technology sectors--biofuels, wind power, and solar photovoltaics--have surpassed $20 billion in global revenue in 2007. It notes that the growth of these clean-technology sectors has been aided by tax incentives and subsidies, and their continued success depends on them.

The article focuses on the projections developed by Clean Edge, a renewable-energy market research firm in Oakland, California, stating that invested capital in equipment related to biomass energy, wind power, solar photovoltaics, and fuel cells will grow to $167 billion in the next 10 years....

This article discusses the energy policy of the Czech Republic with regard to the development of renewable energy sources, such as hydroelectric, biomass, wind, biogas, and photovoltaic power. Large hydroelectric power plants generate half of its electricity from renewable sources, with the...

The article focuses on clean energy. In 2007, Clean Edge, a market research group, reports a 40-percent increase in revenue growth for solar photovoltaics, wind, biofuels, and fuel cells up from $55.0 billion in 2006 to $77.3 billion in 2007. New Energy Finance says that U.S.-based venture...

Renewable energy technologies, such as photovoltaic, solar thermal, geo thermal, biomass, tide and wind are developing rapidly. Basic problems are arising in the wind energy are discussed. Wind energy conversion, in particular, is becoming cheaper than traditional methods in some areas of the...

Presents a question and answer advisory on the renewable energy. Description of all the types and functions of renewable energy systems; Consideration of photovoltaics, wind turbines, bioenergy, hydropower and others; Benefits of renewable energy systems; Considerations before implementing solar...

This paper uses the EMF27 scenarios to explore the role of renewable energy (RE) in climate change mitigation. Currently RE supplies almost 20 % of global electricity demand. Almost all EMF27 mitigation scenarios show a strong increase in renewable power production, with a substantial ramp-up of...

The article reports on data from renewables research group IWR which shows that wind power output in Germany in October 2013 was 47% higher year-on-year, while solar panels generated 5.5% more electricity.
